Description of the problem	The 2009 subaru forester has the light at the top of cargo inside and if it is dark you cannot see anything but the reflection of what is in the cargo area due to the brake light being inside rather than on the outside like other models i feel this is very dangerous, you might run over anything or anybody when you can't see out your back window in the dark. Fortunately i just took a mailbox down, not a person. Now i have damage to my new forester and don't want to keep it.
